Double Chin Improvement! The Latest Under-Chin Treatment We Recommend

横山 歩依里
Supervising Physician
Ayori Yokoyama

My journey into aesthetic medicine stems from a desire to help enrich and beautify lives beyond simply treating illness. My specialties include hyaluronic acid, Botox, and thread lifts. I provide treatments that enhance each individual's unique qualities and bring out an elegant, natural beauty. For concerns around the eyes that are difficult to improve with dermatology alone, I also perform surgical procedures. By integrating dermatology and surgery, I holistically balance the entire face. With three periods of overseas study, I am also able to provide consultations in English.

Hello!

I am Ayuri Yokoyama, a plastic surgeon and cosmetic dermatologist.
